Thanks for being our guest this week...Hi Caroline!<br /><br />Thanks for being our guest this week. This was a wonderful post. Although mine focused more on my doubts, what you've written here tends to speak for me as to what I believe is true. I think actually though you've expressed it better than i would have. We come from the same background, the same cult as it were, but you've taken a more committed and spiritual direction whereas I drifted to a more conventional path. When I read your post I wished I could turn back the clock and do it all differently from about age 19. Well, we are what we are. I believe you have used your life well.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-76065125472519306352009-11-07T06:24:03.680-05:002009-11-07T06:24:03.680-05:00Caroline,

It wasn't something I'd previously encountered. Although I tried to understand the concept (chi energy, channeled through a receiver/healer and passed on to a recipient) my appreciation could be described as 'academic' at best and 'skeptical' at worst.<br /><br />Nevertheless, when she returned from being attuned, I agreed to be her guinea pig as she tested her new abilities on me, but I wasn't sure I fully believed.<br /><br />As you point out: <i>'belief is not it. Doing and being are it.'</i> <br /><br />When I first felt the energy from her body passing into mine, I was amazed that such an experience existed, and apalled that I had ever doubted it could exist.<br /><br />YOur post adroitly summarised my relationship with that experience, and several others that have followed since.<br /><br />Thanks again for stopping by,<br /><br />AshAshley Listerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11997769708965362938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-37201039913601018182009-11-07T04:20:23.671-05:002009-11-07T04:20:23.671-05:00Dear Caroline,
Thank you for joining us at the Gr...Dear Caroline,<br /><br />Thank you for joining us at the Grip and for sharing your thoughts and experiences. <br /><br />I agree with you--when we think we crave pleasure or money or anything else material, this is really a reflection of our desire to be in touch with the Spirit underlying and permeating the universe. One has to have courage and determination to go seeking that experience of union, as you obviously do.<br /><br />Sometimes I think that sex is an expression of that desire for union as well. Every now and then, I catch a glimpse...<br /><br />Wishing you joy in your quest,<br />LisabetLisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.com
